‘Ocean’s’ stars Clooney, Pitt, Damon sink prints in cement

LOS ANGELES – “Ocean’s” stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon left their prints in cement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, as did Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin before them.

In costume, wearing suits without ties, the three easygoing stick-up men of “Ocean’s Thirteen,” which opens this weekend, put their hands and then their shoes, into the fresh cement.

They follow in the footsteps of Sinatra and Martin, who starred in the original 1960 hit, “Ocean’s Eleven,” which inspired a 2001 remake and a fit of “rat pack” nostalgia.

Clooney, 46, Matt Damon, 36, and Pitt, 43, stopped traffic along Hollywood Boulevard, blocks from the Kodak Theatre — the venue for the Academy Awards. –

THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM – MATT DAMON (Jason Bourne)

It’s hard to imagine now, but there were those who doubted that Matt Damon was the right actor to play Jason Bourne. As the third eagerly awaited instalment in the series, The Bourne Ultimatum, nears release Damon and the tortured former black operations agent he plays so well are as one in the collective mind of the huge audience waiting for the film

But at the time of the first movie, The Bourne Identity, back in 2002, Damon, as he himself admits, wasn’t exactly flavour of the month in Hollywood. “Basically what you are saying is that it saved my ass and that’s completely true,” he laughs. “The weekend that it opened I was doing a play in the West End (of London) and I hadn’t had a film offer in six months because I’d had a couple of movies tank.

“And the word was that the first Bourne movie was going to tank, because it had been delayed so long and it had so many rounds of re-shooting, and it just had all the hallmarks of a turkey.”

Matt Damon doesn’t envy Brad Pitt

Matt Damon has insisted that he would not want to trade places with Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

The 36-year-old actor admitted that he could not cope with being mobbed in the street on a daily basis like his Ocean’s Thirteen co-stars and he is happy to stay out of the media spotlight.

“I honestly don’t know how Brad does it. He can’t walk down the street anywhere, literally anywhere,” Matt told Empire magazine.

“They’re in Prague right now because Angelina’s working, and he can’t walk down the street. I went to Prague and I didn’t sign an autograph for six months – and it was great! The fame side is not interesting to me at all.”

Damon Sympathises With Pitt’s Fame

Matt Damon has sympathised with fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt’s life in the public eye – but is secretly pleased he does not receive the same level of attention.

The Bourne Identity leading man finds it hard to fathom how the actor and partner Angelina Jolie cope with their incessant fame – and is grateful he can travel to parts of the world unnoticed.

He says, “I honestly don’t know how he does it.”

“He can’t walk down the street anywhere, literally anywhere. They’re in Prague right now because Angelina’s working, and he can’t walk down the street. I went to Prague and I didn’t sign an autograph for six months, and it was great!”
